Re: Yenko and COPO info
Until Chevy decides to release their records, there is no way of knowing how many cars Yenko sold. We can only use two numbers. 1. documented cars that exist today and 2. accepted number, such as 130+ Corvairs, 100+ '67 Camaros, 70ish+ '68 Camaros, 198 '69 Camaros, 99 '69 Chevelles, 40ish '69 Novas, 175+ Deuces, ? Vegas, 19+ turbo Zs, etc. The term "accepted" number simply means where there is evidence to support these numbers, such as original Yenko paperwork, GM records, NHRA paperwork, etc. And, as more documented cars and Yenko paperwork turn up, the numbers change. With Don deceased, we can only speculate how/where he came up with the numbers he did, so this paperwork will have to do, at least until Chevy helps us. And, even then, that will only prove which cars Yenko sold and which cars were COPOs, any other Yenko supercars will need additional paperwork.
